About OptaSoft 
OptaSoft was funded as a spin-off company in 2004 by two professors and a PhD student at Budapest University of Technology and Economics, and one of their friends, a software engineer. The company is based on their extensive experience in consulting for chemical and related industries (petrochemicals, oil and gas, food, environmental issues, etc.), solving process modeling, design, process synthesis and optimization problems including discrete decisions.
Very soon, OptaSoft won an EU grant for the dissemination of applied optimization techniques in Hungarian industries.
AIMMS Service Partnership 
In March 2006, OptaSoft and Paragon signed an AIMMS Service Partnership Agreement. Having finished the systems architecture document of the EU project (see below), OptaSoft decided to develop the model building software environment in AIMMS because AIMMS provides us with all the necessary components (language, compilation, solvers, and GUI) in a single well-designed tool.
Applications and Solutions
OptaSoft has developed, together with the University, an MINLP model and software for successfully optimizing the European supply chain of a beer company.
OptaSoft conducts trainings and performs marketing campaigns to bring optimization technology to specific production sectors in Hungary.
We undertake scheduling and supply chain optimization projects

Supply Chain Management tool Optasoft has developed a Supply Chain Management tool for Provimi Pet Food, which optimizes the transport between production lines, packaging lines and customers for more than 800 products across 17 countries. The tool has been developed in less than four months. Provimi said: “Optasoft provided us an optimal solution by tailoring AIMMS to the problem of our company.”

Distribution and supply chain optimization
Your company is regularly faced with the problem of optimally distributing the production orders and production capacities over the existing production units in order to minimize the overall costs of production and transportation, while the customer orders should be satisfied. Decisions on which production lines should be started with how many shifts, which suppliers to be taken into account, etc. are essentially supported with our software. |
 |
Production schedulingPrompt customer orders and internal orders for refilling finished article stock are mixed in your business, and you have to determine a feasible and, if possible, optimal production schedule. You also have to flexibly change your monthly or quarterly schedule to adapt it to cancelled orders and to new prompt orders. Our software provides you with planning and reactive scheduling tools in automatic and interactive operation modes. |

Optimization Model DeveloperIn the center of the EU grant is a project of developing a model building software environment for easily and quickly building up models in a graphical form for practical problems in a way that is automatically translated to MI(N)LP form, transferable to solvers, and solvable by them. The project is based on the academic research results of the group. |
Trainings
One-day trainings are organized on effective optimization for managers from sectors of production and logistics. The trainings include general introduction to industrial optimization problems, modeling, their relation to ERP, modeling and optimization tools, introduction to AIMMS, modeling and programming workshop.
